A. In addition to the penalties established by this chapter any threat to public health, safety and welfare shall be declared and deemed a public nuisance. Such public nuisance may be summarily abated and/or restored by the city engineer, and/or civil action to abate, enjoin or otherwise compel the cessation of such nuisance may be taken by the city attorney.
B. The cost of such abatement, remediation and restoration shall be borne by the owner of the property causing the violation. The cost thereof shall be a lien upon and against the property and such lien shall continue in existence until the same shall be paid. If the lien is not satisfied by the owner of the property within a prescribed amount of time after the completion by the city of the removal of the public nuisance and restoration and remediation of the property to its original condition, the property may be sold in satisfaction thereof in a like manner as other real property is sold under execution. (Ord. 229 § 3, 2005)
